As a practicing gynecologist in the Louisville area, I would like to respond to the September 2nd Courier-Journal opinion article questioning the value of women’s annual gynecologic exam. While it is true that various health-related organizations disagree as to the value of certain screening tests, the majority of us who focus our medical practice on wellness for women can attest to a huge value gained with the annual gynecologic exam. I remember well being nervous about my own first gynecologic exam as a teenager. My mother’s OB/GYN, Dr. Cecil Grumbles, gently reassured me. He let me know that he could help my horrendous cramps that were causing me to miss school once a month. I had just assumed that bad cramps were to be part of my life, but he not only made my life better (and my grades), my experience inspired me to consider the field in which I am now privileged to practice.
Women First is pleased to announce that Dr. Lauren Lewis has joined our practice! A native of Durham, North Carolina, Dr. Lewis completed her undergraduate education at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, in 2005 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy. She received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in 2010 and, in July of 2014, completed her Residency at Duke University Medical Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Women First has added a second 3D Tomosynthesis Mammogram as part of our commitment to detecting breast cancer earlier. The most accurate breast imaging on the market, 3D TOMO is proven to detect more types of breast cancer earlier and is recommended for women at higher-than-average risk for breast cancer.
